Your comment seems quite ridiculous when your consider that this isn't even Morrissey's voice. I guess you weren't to know this if you didn't read the comments, but you do seem quick to judge without a lot of evidence.

and Liam G.

Ian Turnbow don't forget Pete Townsend!

Shruggz Da Str8-Faced Clown 100% yes.

Yep. It is.

Sounds more like Neil Morrissey ya nar...that man behaving badly

Nah it's not him.

I really felt that.

Ghosts usually are though

@@neilsun2521 majority yes if you believe in them😂😂

"were," not "are."

@@LucyOLastic 😂 my mistake, English being my second language, past tense instead of present tense. Thanks👍. Take care

they couldn't meet the high standard we build up in our own mind.

Fans who meet Moz have a good experience though 💚

@metal... for headbangers only Morrissey talks shit about anything or anyone except himself

@@thetideishighandsoami3928 Evidently not.

Envy? Surely not.

blackmore4 Suggest you watch the 1984 clip I mentioned..and as I said I love both the Smiths and JD..

***** Thanks - wasn't Tony Blackburn great! :( I wouldn't describe what M said as envious and still can't think of any hypothetical reason why he would be. I like both groups too and it's their respective uniqueness which makes it hard for me to imagine either party feeling competitive with the other. But while we're on the subject ;) ... Drums: Morris over Joyce Guitar and bass: Marr and Rourke have a much greater capacity for warmth and beauty and they thrash Sumner and Hook technically but the latter two still sound more innovative... a draw! Vocals: I much prefer Curtis' baritone sound to Morrissey's timbre but M's coquettish impudence is without peer. Both singers' stage presence/craft and charisma was equally amazing so... a draw... until the lyrics... M over Curtis in a landslide :)

blackmore4​​​ Agreed, for the most part...until putting Morrissey over Ian Curtis for lyrics, do you seriously, seriously think that??!!...beg to differ big time (as would many others)..but suppose it's opinion. Also, don't quite follow what you say when mentioning Marr and Rourke having "warmth" and using that as a reason as to why they're better than Sumner and Hook, for me that doesn't make sense, and is missing the point about JD'S music...JD were never about warmth!!...that's a bit like saying "Casablanca" is better than "Alien" because the former has more romantic dialogues... But suppose it's all down to personal taste.

***** Warmth or any 'temperature' is just more interpretable, the more technically accomplished/knowledgeable the musician is. In other words, you have more options for things you can do. But I didn't say that I thought the Smiths pair were "better", only that they were capable of more... 'colour'! Yet in spite of JD's more limited... 'palette'(!)... they continue to sound more rivetingly innovative. And yes, they do 'cold' waaaay better than the Smiths :)) Yes, I'm afraid I "seriously seriously" think Morrissey to be massively superior to Curtis as a lyricist. You're right of course, it's certainly down to personal taste but here's my reason. To me, Curtis reads like a great late 20th century rock lyricist, whereas Morrissey just reads like a great lyricist period. Again with the palette and colours - his range is simply broader; he can make you laugh out loud as well as snivel. And I particularly like the fact that the 'rock' quota is missing from M's work. I'd posit that by omitting it, he was far more innovative too. Few were as good as Curtis in his field but countless depressive often abstract rock lyricists read similarly in terms of subkect matter and style. Morrissey's queerness is an advantage too. There's a playful deviance (and obviously the talent to back it up) in his wanting to "hang the DJ" and not "dance to the radio".

Yes it’s well written but long winded almost for the sake of it......I wish he’d be as concise as he is with his lyrics...

They're two completely different albums with different song structures and sounds. What would be the point?

I'll compare them for you. One is a masterpiece, the other is fairly mediocre.

@@dollanspath1571 which is wish dollan

@@dollanspath1571 Is this Morrissey? Sorry moz, you’ll never be Ian Curtis

@@paninovevo1162 yeah, how would you be able to compare two different things?

I was born at the same time as Moz - in North East England. I followed bands like Soft Machine, Amon Duul II, The Groundhogs and Egg. I went out of my way to hear these bands. It was the time when you could walk into a record shop and take an album off the shelf, put headphones on and listen to it, there was never any obligation to buy it - it was the seventies

Which was great providing you didn't buy a record which had been knackered by a previous listener/listeners!

you were not aware of it at the time but my goodness what an age for music - certainly compared to the famine we have had for almost 20 years.

LOL

We can't all be a walking well of profundity Timothy.

Marc Highliner But Moz is.

what were the the real reasons ?

@@mustardegg2 moneymoneymoney

That wouldn't work.

He doesn't have enough faith in people.

This isn't him speaking.

@@sweetnuthin It's Terence Stamp.

@@jamesgretsch4894 It's David Morrissey.

What happened?

Bolan is the King.

Shame his royal highness bitched about the court ruling. Thou protest too much...Steven..

S Spot on. Mozza literary giant..

lydon called the dolls a degenerate version of mar bolan's t. rex.

I think the song New York was more Lydon taking the piss out of Johnny Thunders for being a junky, but they loved the dolls, and Thunders was a hero to Steve and Sid

Cook and Jones were the Dolls fans ,Rottens likes were very mixed Captain Beefheart ( as did Strummer) Alice Cooper ,Peter Hamill, Can , Slade , Quo ,Van Der Graf Generator etc.

The Sex Pistols song New York is about the new New York dolls after thunders and Nolan left the band and johanson and syl tried to keep the band going doing a tour of JAPAN doing the same old songs in the same style the original band had been doing 3-4 years earlier

Silly. Morrissey will never be forgotten The Smiths pretty much invented indie music

No chance of him being forgotten

@@nope5445 Surely you jest.

@@nope5445 Invented indie music ??? they are mainstream music.

Morrissey will live forever.

He gets so caught up in prose that he forgets structure. It's flowery rambling.

The accent?

How? The clip is exactly what the description says...

Agree completely. I could not even finish the court case section.

it can't be any worse than Johnny Marr's book surely ?

I thought the same thing. But it sounds like that was before the album was out, the period he's talking about in the clip. Plus, I think I heard somewhere that it was a liberate move, not really a reflection of the band or their feelings on the Dolls or their music. The Pistols, as far as I know, had never met the NY Dolls at that point, but their manager Malcolm McClaren had managed the Dolls previous to the Pistols. I think he may have been the instigator for the "New York" thing. It's a method lesser known rappers still employ today - insult somebody with a big name and it'll make you famous. The Pistols had the original diss record.

Paula Clark deliberate*

Paula Clark Good point well made Paula however the Pistols played New York live before the album was released of course, in fact they played it at the Lesser Free Trade Hall gig when Moz (and just about every musician in Manchester) saw & heard them for the first time. Your right though, John wrote the song as a reaction to Malcoms constant glorification and exaggeration of the New York scene.

+Alan White The Pistols were more than just Johnny Rotten...as far as I know both Steve Jones and Paul Cook liked The NYD and Steve apparently really admired Johnny Thunders. In any case Rotten dissing anyone in a song was just par for the course.

they liked the band, Lydon just didn't like the druggy self glory they promoted

Lol 😂It’s pretty long winded; I wish he’d have been as concise as we know he can be....

SoulStylistJukeBox Actor David Morrissey [Walking Dead]

GriefTourist I suspect most of the visitors to this page assume they're listening to the voice of Steven Patrick Morrissey. To avoid confusion you may want to "edit" the title of this upload.

SoulStylistJukeBox I am certain it is the voice of Neil Morrissey.

David Morrissey the actor.

+GriefTourist Morrissey speaks Morrissey's words. Fitting.

Which one, Snatch, or Revolver?

+Mr. Clean Interestingly he's related to Robbie Keane the footballer.

half-sister

His real name was morrison, so, no.

No, mate. It's the actor David Morrissey.

Are you being serious? This isn't Morrissey, this is the actor David Morrissey (the Governor in The Walking Dead) who is narrating...

Except Bolan was married to Gloria Jones

except he didn't, dumbass

@@rongrainger9611 they were not married

WTF are you going on about?

ellycat I find the three bands mentioned ridiculously boring. I loved Tyrannosaurus Rex at the time and I still do. I have a theory that T. Rex was a joke to make money - and Bolan was in on the joke - Peely sort of agreed with this. Ride a White swan was the first 'pop' record of the 70s as we know and 'love?' 70s pop.

Probably because Tyrannosaurus Rex were actually quite shit bar Deborah. T.Rex were so much better. And why does Moz have to adhere to what the late great John Peel has to say?

ellycat Tyrannosaurus Rex were the business, mate - and Deborah is by far their worst song - load of nothing - have you heard 'King of the Rumbling Spires?' Moz doesn't have to adhere to Peely. Bolan was his best mate - they lived together - but when Bolan got his breadhead on he upped and left his mate and never contacted him again. He wasn't gonna have anything to with Rock music any more so he ditched his rock music mates - and went pop - the start of 70s pop featuring The Rubettes and Bay City Rollers - thanks Marc. I totally agree with Peely on T.Rex - Ride a white swan was OK but why do it - Hot love was along the same lines but not as good as the first and when Get it on came out that was enough of that - he'd lost the plot.

I don't think Slider's a classic, no, sorry - I was listening to very different music at the time, all the best though
